​MSB client, Tamkeen, sets out strategy to transform Bahrain’s future

Last month, 500 people attended the annual consultation forum of Tamkeen, a Bahraini government agency charged with developing the Gulf kingdom’s people and private sector enterprises.

Forum participants made a range of recommendations, including the need for Tamkeen to diversify its support to cater for businesses of different sizes and sectors, the publication of regular research on gaps in the market, and the provision of business advisory and mentorship services.

​By providing grants to entrepreneurs (to grow their business) and individuals (to support their personal and professional development), Tamkeen helps to develop Bahrain’s economy in line with the government’s Economic Vision 2030, which aims to end the country’s reliance on its limited oil and gas reserves.

It is on increasing the quality of the kingdom’s human capital that Tamkeen’s latest strategy will focus.
